Thanks everyone who has agreed to make this coming Monday (6th April), Paul Haig Day on your blog.I'll of course be posting one or two songs by the great man, although I havent quite made up my mind which ones they will be.

hi! was forwarded about Paul Haig day as I'm a radio dj/blogger from Canada and you can definitely count me in for the day:)
Happy to join in tomorrow but with a blog called Endless Dancer's Endless Note I will have to be obvious and post "Endless Song"

Should have read Helpless Dancer not Endless Dancer....though that too sounds good!
I'm a DJ at a radio station in upstate NY. I'll play some Paul Haig on Monday! And will pump up your effort here! Rock on, VV!
I've enlisted Winstonszen, a London blogger who is also meeting with some SONY execs on April 16 along with Matthew of Song by Toad and some others to discuss things as well as this issue. Go Bloggers Go! xoxo

Late for the fucking party again!
